We saw the movie with our daughter, age 11, thought it was very good. Glad to hear someone is taping for the ship, thank you. It is being replayed tonight again I think at 8. Haven't heard from son in a week, but I'm sure I will soon, he knows how Mom gets. Hope all of you are well and hear from your loved ones often. I'm really glad this is here for families to have contact with each other. I would be interested in helping out if any is needed, I teach at a year-round school and have 4 weeks off and 3 months on. I'm off now until the 25 of Aug. Just let me know whenever help is needed. Take care all.

Crews from the USS Stennis and the USS Kitty Hawk, another carrier taking part in the exercises, were searching for survivors, according to a statement from the Navy's Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka, Japan.

The phone rang unanswered at the Seventh Fleet early Wednesday Japan time.

The aviators were part of the "Blue Wolves" squadron based at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado.

An investigation is underway.

The $27 million S3-B is an all-weather aircraft equipped for surveillance, electronic warfare and search-and-rescue. It can be armed with Harpoon and Maverick air-to-sea and air-to-ground missiles.

President Bush rode in an S-3B when he landed on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln off the coast of California last year.

Well this just shows how busy I really have been. Didn't know till tonight that my good friend Connie from Lake arrowhead had finally join us. Welcome girlfriend!!!

For all you "Connie" folks she was at our Welcome home picinic. It was also her school that wrote during the deployment to Jess's squadron. They also had a big welcome home party for the squadron at the school.

Saw those today. Talked to my son John this weekend. He is 21 today and I guess is back out to sea. As we saw they moved into Sasebo, Japan for a little R&R...hehe.

He told me that they have seen alot of great pictures during the kitty hawk and JCS photo op. He was able to get some good ones from JCS while the Kitty was beside them. So far not many have come over the news wire.

I download some of the pictures and am keeping them for him on a CD. He might like to have them in later years. This way he can remember back when. Back in '04....hehe

I'm so glad everyone is enjoying the photos, I had forgotten all about the Navy Newsstand. It's really wonderful for following our loved-ones.

HI there! I see your name is BluWolfWifey - my DBF is in the Blue Wolves. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

Hey the flicks were great expecially the ones for their last port. My son almost did not get off the ship; first day he had the duty and there was the possiblity that were going to pull out the next day because of the storms.

He called twice while they were there. Said he had a great time, bought a camera and the second time he called he had just had some beer with the CMC and was pretty well out of it.:p He said they were pulling out the next day headed for the next port.

Said he couldn't wait to go back again, but he is a newbie and will probably say that about any port he goes to the first time.
